My friend is 35 and found out yesterday that she has cervical cancer.She says she threw up most of last night (not because she's sick, it's because she's so upset).I know that many people can overcome cervical cancer and that this is a cancer that can be treated.If you have any suggestions on how I can support her, that would be appreciated.

My husband and I are in the process of choosing our adoption agency/plan. The one agency we really like specializes in open adoptions. Each case is different, but on average they say you meet up with the birth mother 3 times a year, sometimes less, sometimes more.

After speaking to 6 different agencies, they all tell me different things. I am wondering if this is a good way to go forward? (good as ...

I don't "bleed' during intercourse on a normal basis but rather bled the last time I had sex. This is the first time this has ever happened. Without TMI I was in an odd position with something pressing into my lower back pretty hard, I'm not sure if this could have anything to do with it. I'm on birth control pills & I have been sick (just a cold). I am supposed to start my ...

Most women have no signs or symptoms of cervical cancer. That is why it is SO important for women who are sexually active to get a yearly pap smear. Pap smears are the best thing a woman can do to detect any early signs of abnormal growth on the cervix, which can eventually turn into cervical cancer.

Is there any possibility that it will lead to cervical cancer? I am ...

Monogamy with a STD-free partner or staying abstinent from sex are technically the only ways to prevent STDs, including HPV. Even with the vaccine, you are not protected from (other) various types of HPV and you are not guaranteed to be protected from cervical cancer.

There is nothing wrong with waiting out how this vaccine will work after a few years. It is still too new to earn my trust, especially when it ...

My mum punched me in the face growing up, pulled my hair, scratched my arms and face until they where bleeding, punched my nose until I had 15 minute nose bleeds, pulled my hair, kicked me and slapped my face. I would have to go school with bloody scars/scabs on my face a few times. My nose would hurt so much from the 15 minute nose bleeds I couldn't touch it for a week. ...

On and off over the last few months my period pains have been a bit odd and have started to worry me. I am 20, but mid-cycle I have period-like pains. I have had 'mittle schmertz' pains before on one side of my abdomen but this feels like a very low down period pain, so much so that I've had to check Im not actually on my period. It tends not to last too long. ...
